(Not sure if this is the best title for a TV program about big houses in Bangkok)
This past Monday was the END… I can’t believe it’s taken 2 years to finish this degree, but I’m soooo glad it’s done. As the marks and grades slowly trickle in, I’m crossing my fingers in hopes of passing all my courses (not like the scare I had last year when I almost failed my urban design course). If all goes well, I’ll be graduating with a Masters in International Urban and Environmental Management, or IUEM for short. I’ve already applied to graduate, but chose to opt out of going to Melbourne for the ceremonies. Hmm… I didn’t even go to the grad ceremony when I finished my Bachelors at U.Vic… I guess I have a phobia for graduation… or maybe it’s “teleophobia“?
If you want to know where I went to university, it’s RMIT University in Melbourne. From what I hear, it’s a funky progressive (maybe even liberal) uni with lots of different programs. I actually visited the campus back in January and was surprisingly impressed. Anyway, I’m done and that’s all that matters… Now it’s time to figure out what I want to do…
(We actually have a nice outdoor courtyard just outside my office at the UN… nice to take a break from work or even hold meetings)
Congratulations Ving! Now, I shall dub thee a fellow MASTER! Come on back to B.C. and go into consulting. Anywhere you go, with sustainability of the tip of everyone’s tongue, Urban and Environmental Management is sure to be a lucrative skillset.
Thanks Chris… hopefully I’ll figure out what I want to do soon… bc is an option. you know I have more work experience outside than inside bc (or canada for that matter). Wonder if anyone would hire me?
yes, the market is hot enough… up to you though. In the last 6 months, we’ve hired people with experience exclusively from Australia and Russia of all places. Many of the skills learned through education and work experience are not limited to one particular country. Sometimes, the easiest part is to learn the provincial regulations and guidelines last (like me). You coming back for Christmas?
Congratulations on finishing up your course! I think finishing master’s with distance learning is more tough than doing it in class, and you finished it only for two years… You deserve a good
vacation.
